Top SchoolMarc Verhagen is a Senior Research Scientist and Project Manager with 15 years of professional experience specializing in natural language processing, computational linguistics, annotation systems, and temporal information processing. Based in Somerville, MA, he leads research programs at Brandeis University, combining academic rigor from a PhD in Computer Science with hands-on tool development and project leadership.
